Well I am finally getting around to sharing with you what I bought 2 weeks ago at the Sweet Salvage Sale! I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already!!
This is a vintage hanging scale. I just love it and was thrilled to add it to my collection. I didn't have a hanging one until now so I think it's pretty cool. I hope some day I'll find one of those cool scoopy looking baskets that hangs underneath. (Don't you love my technical terms). LOL.
I loved this old porcelain bucket. I already have two, one in blue and one in brown. I use them outside in the garden instead of those ugly plastic buckets. The 7UP crate is awesome too! The patina on it is just right and the lettering on all sides is perfect. I love how it has the metal corner strips too.
And last but not least... this awesome plant stand! I am a HUGE container gardener since the soil here is sooooo bad, so I love it when I find unique containers and stands to display my plants.
Sorry it took so long for this post ladies. I have been so busy creating new party dresses (blog designs) for so many of you who are joining the Where Bloggers Create party, time just flew by!!! And, speaking of party dresses... What do you think of mine??? I finally bit the bullet and decided to change from a 3 column to a two column. I've been debating the issue with myself for some time because I really wanted to be able to post the extra large photos horizontally as well as vertically.
Anyway, it was time for a cleaner simpler look, so I went for it!!!
********************************
Don't forget the Where Bloggers Create party is less than a week away!!!
See you all on the 14th!!!!!!

I think the new dress looks great!!! Thanks again for helping me out!! Hugs
You make me want to change to a 2 column. It looks fantastic!
All your finds are great but really really love that hanging scale!
Hi Karen
Yes I just love the hanging scales too! Love the white bucket as well which you will need more of during this very hot weather to water your baskets with!
Yes I LOVE the two column look and am so happy with my new look also - thanks to you dear friend!
So wonderful that you are getting many orders from bloggers to do the same!
Have a happy and steady week!
Boy there were a lot of "loves" in that post - oh well - just meant to be!
Big hugs,
Suzy
Your finds are just fabulous, Karen! Love it all! Especially the scale and plant stand. I would love to have had that for my new studio!! I can just see vintage lace, trim, and bits and bobs filling it up!! Have a lovely Sunday! Hugs, Becky
I like the 2 column look. I think it's a fresh new look. The plant stand is fabulous but that hanging scale is far and away my favorite.
Great finds thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to the blogging party!!
I feel better now, knowing others here in the valley use containers for their plants and flowers. It's work to get them all watered but so worth it.
J'adore your finds and believe me, I WILL be shopping at Sweet Salvage this month.
Love your new look and of course, adore mine. Thanks again!!

Karen - what fabulous inspiration, esp here in the Valley!!! I will have to remember to mark my calendar for SS next month! xo

I love it, Karen, it does look cleaner and less crowded.Love you finds at salvage treasures too. Scales just jump out and find you, don't they?
I really like the 2 column look, neat and simple, less cluttered. Love the hanging scale!!!
That's a great scale, Karen! What a fantastic find! Your other new treasures are wonderful too.
Happy Sunday!
Hugs,

I love your treasure! Miss you my sweet friend.
I think it looks wonderful Karen and I remember when I had you change me to 3 now I'm thinking in my first blog that I will eventually have you do the same, keeping the same look of course, I love my beautiful blog you created for me. I love you newest treasures. Hugs and love, Marilou
PS Want to do another this week, lol if you can other wise no worries:) Hugs ML
Love the basket container thing. Great finds!
Definitely a cleaner look..I loved the other one..guess it was a little busy..busy but elegant..Great find with the scale..The sad part is that most of us know what that curved, bucket thing is..We kinda all speak the same language??
Wow, amazing finds! Your scales are fabulous! The porcelain bucket is a favorite of mine! Love the crate too!
Wonderful hanging scale... love it and all your new treasures! I adore the new dress here too. Can't wait for next weekend's party!

OK my dear drawing buddy - one of these days, I am going to go to that sale with you. I am DYING TO GO! I wish I weren't so far away! It'll feel like RoundTop together all over again!
Can't wait to see everyone's special spots on Saturday!
HUGS! Karen
I have been absent in blogland for a while. It is so nice to see that my favorites are still there!! Love your design and inspiration. I also heard you speak at Paris in a Cup, and FINALLY have my own bliss started. Working out all of the kinks, but if you have a moment I would really appreciate your input. I am the new kid on the block and doing what I would do if I knew I would not fail.
It is good to be back and I look forward to sharing treasures and reading all of your wonderful posts.

I found you while reading Rebecca from AGP. I'm glad. I am following you. Although you don't look as if you need another one, I am loving reading you and seeing all your creativity. Hope you'll visit and followme too.
I love your blog and the look is excellent! I'd like to join in on your Where Bloggers Create party. I'm late (as usual), I left a comment on that post and my blog address but the comment before mine was June 26 so I wasn't real sure you would see it after this long. I hope I can still participate.
Thank you!

I think your blog looks beautiful. I just purchased your Building Beautiful Blogs book and hope to spend some time trying to change my blog up a little. I love the hanging scale.
Love all the new goodies! You always find such great staff there! Have a great weekend! We're at DianFrey's this weekend & I can't wait! Hugs!!!
HI THERE!
My good friend Violet sent me over here to see about your blog party! I so wish I could join but I am in the middle of a home project. Your blog is LOVELY and I adore all the furnishings. Have fun! Anita
Hello Karen, I was so excited to see that it's Where Bloggers Create time again. I didn't get any pictures taken this year. We almost lost our house is a wildfire a few weeks ago but those wonderful firefighters were able to put the fire out just 100 feet from our house. So I am feeling extremely blessed to have a place to create!. I am so looking forward to seeing all the lovely creative spaces tomorrow!
I love your bucket...the creamy colour is so ME! Let me see here...I used to have a small version of this....what ever happened to it, I wonder.....I'll have to go on a treasure hunt right here in my own home! yikes!
thanks for sharing..and I'm all set to go blog hopping for WBC tomorrow.
